How do you wear that Badge?
                  Same way you waive that gun?
How many Stripes you got Boy?
               Can you count them pinky to thumb?
Where did you get those Big Ole *****?
                (you know  they're lookin' kinda blue)

How do you wear that Badge, Son?
               Slightly "tilted"? Never crooked?
                                                        ­                          Always true?    
My mercenary with a quota,
                Did Momma never hold ya?
                                       (bet no one ever told ya your **** is ******* huge)

                                                          ­                                                    Reason?
     ­                                                                 ­                       Justice?
                                                        ­                     Morals?
                                                         ­     Values?
(they won't make your toy go boom)
               Ever notice how your bark just carries,
even in the loudest room?

"Shoot!
                   Point!
                                  Aim!",
         ­                                        ain't that what Daddy !Sir! done said?
(as he smacked with style, that shapeless smile, right across your head)

How will you wear that Badge, ma'boy, the day the bodies fall?
    Will you walk off-beat, when hearing Greatness call?
